Our Next Journal Question - Books

What were some of the books you read growing up that you enjoyed?  Mom didn't comment on this; however, my favorites were the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series.  We had almost all of them when I was young.  I even started reading the Nancy Drew young adult series when we moved here.  I found out that Carolyn Keene lived in Toledo!  I lived there 19 years and never knew that.  What a bummer.  I wonder if I could have met her?  What books do you remember reading?
